Horrible Accident on the b. & o. II. II.
frightful accident occurred on the B. &
o. R. R. on Tuesday morning between and
3o'clock, little east of Republic. The fast
train due at Republic at 2:15 collided with a
freight and a terrible wreck was the result.
The cars took fire and nineteen persons were
either burned to death or killed outright.
Many more were wounded, fatally and
seriously. William Frederick, the fireman
on the passenger train, who was killed, is
son of Mr.. Samuel Frederick, of Flatrock
township. His body was brought to Holgate
Tuesday evening. The cause of the accident
was the freight men disobying orders, trying
to make Attica from Republic, where the
train was ordered to stop to let the passenger
pass. Among the killed are W. H. Parker,
of Washington, Joseph Pastlethwaet and
two sons, of Martinsburg, West Va, H. G.
Forester, of Chicago, G. P. Bradley, of
Washington, W. S. Pierce, of Wheeling,
West Va, and others whose names had not

How to Spend your Winter Evenings.
Many an hour is idled away at the family
freside, simply for the want of good books
to read during the long Winter evenings.
Many persons do not feel able to buy books
or even borrow them; but we will venture to
say that there is not a family in the county so
poor but that they could buy literature
enough to keep them busy reading, when not
engaged in manual labor, for whole year,
if they will but simply take the money they
invest in tobacco each year and buy good
reading matter, and by so doing will build up
the intellect instead of destroying it by, the
use of that filthy weed, that deadly poison
which has its victims laying in every grave
yard in the United States and in every one in
the world; in every country where tobacco is
used, books are cheap, Magazines and papers
are cheap. Call at Saur's drug and book
store and get prices, and we know that you
will be agreeably surprised.

The fine ice which now fetters the rivers
tempted councilman Fred LeSeuer to try it
with his team Monday afternoon, and he
drove upon the Maumee at the foot of Jeffer-
son street to try spin. About two rods
from the shore he unknowingly drove upon a
spot where ice had been cut few days before
but which was now slightly frozen over and
covered over with snow. Of course the
treacherous ice gave way, and the team went
into the water. A lad was with Mr. LeSeuer
at the time, and both jumped upon the safe
ice. Mr.. LeSeuer then went to the heads of
the struggling team to try to keep them up
till help came, but he slipped and went into
the river himself. 1t was a struggle to get
back to safety again, but he accomplished it.
The poor animals were soon chilled, and be-
fore aid arrived both we're drowned. Al
though we are sorry for Mr.. LeSeuer's loss,
we congratulate him upon his own fortunate
escape.-Defdnee Eapress.

that watcrconrscs and ponds are

that swine DO not get water from
